Location: All sessions will be held in the Bahen Centre for Information Technology Building. The building is located to the north of (just behind) the Fields Institute Building. See campus map. (Map file in http://oracle.osm.utoronto.ca/map/webmap.gif) . Buildings are indicated by "BA" and "FI", respectively, on the map (close to the north-west corner of the intersection of College and St. George streets). The rooms used for the conference are BA 1130, BA 1200 (all three days) and one of BA 1210, BA 1230 and BA 1160 (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, respectively), all in the main floor.

Reception: The Faculty Club, where the reception will be held, is at 41 Willcocks Street, north and west of Bahen (close to the south-east corner of the intersection of Spadina and Willcocks streets). The Faculty Club building is indicated by "FC" in the campus map.

Excursion: The excursion to Kleinburg has been cancelled and fees will be returned. See the suggestions for alternatives.

Dinner: A dinner is planned for Friday evening, at the Bright Pearl restaurant (Chinese), 346 - 348 Spadina Ave., about 10' walk from Bahen, in the heart of Chinatown. The cost will be approximately $30 per person. Please indicate whether you are interested, at the registration desk.
